NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

During his days as the dragstrip manager at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, Eddie Krawiec often dreamed that he would one day get a chance to race a Pro Stock Motorcycle in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. That dream finally became a reality when he joined the Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines team in 2007.

One of several riders to audition for a chance to ride for the highly coveted factory Harley-Davidson program, Krawiec immediately impressed the Vance & Hines team. He accomplished a rare feat in 2008 when he won his first championship without the benefit of a national event victory; he finally found the winner’s circle in early 2009 with a victory in Atlanta.

Now a 10-year veteran, Krawiec has cemented his place among the all-time greats in the sport with three world championships and 33 national event victories, and he’s off to another great start in 2016 with two wins and a runner-up in the first three events of the season.
